Note: In the diary section of our June issue of Get It Joburg North, we told readers about the June edition of the Field Market to be held on 12 June. Unfortunately, the market organisers have now posted on the Field Market social media accounts that ‘due to the approaching Covid-19 3rd wave’, a decision was made to cancel the June and July markets with the hope of hosting one in August. Stay safe, everyone!
